Title: Improvements in or relating to electric starter systems for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 1939-03-03
Abstract: 515,731. Starting prime movers. WITCOMB, F. L. March 3, 1939, No. 7035. [Class 38 (iv)] In the electric starter system of an I.C. engine, an auxiliary battery is brought into circuit in series with the main battery to supplement the latter, upon closure of a starter switch. Normally the main battery 1 is connected by closure of an ignition switch 2 to an, ignition coil 3 through contacts 12, 13 of a two way switch connected by a bar 11 to the starter switch 4. Operation of this switch 4 closes contacts 9, 10 to energize the starter motor 5, and also closes contacts 12, 15 and opens contacts 12, 13 so that an auxiliary battery 16 is connected in series between the main battery 1 and the ignition coil 3, thereby preventing a drop in volts at the ignition coil when the heavy current taken by the starting motor 5 causes a drop in potential of battery 1. In one modification, an electromagnetic relay energized upon closing the starter switch, replaces the two way switch mechanically coupled to the starter switch 4, and in another modification, connections are so arranged that with the starter switch in its open position, the auxiliary battery 16 is charged through a resistance from the main battery 1.

Patent GB-540619-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to thread waxing devices particularly for winding and like machines
IPC: B65H71/00
Filed: 1940-04-22
Abstract: 540,619. Waxing thread etc.; winding thread &c. UNIVERSAL WINDING CO. April 22, 1940, No. 7258. Convention date, May 5, 1939. [Classes 120 (ii) and 120 (iii)] In a waxing-device, particularly for a thread winding or like machine, the wax cake is mounted on a holder 7 which is supported for rotation about a fixed axis with means for maintaining the axis of rotation fixed and the rotation of the cake by the running thread, which is guided across the surface of the cake, is retarded by a speed-responsive device operated in accordance with the speed of rotation of the cake. As shown the wax cake C is carried by a thimble 50 rotatably mounted by a pin 51 on the top of a post 40 fixed in a hub 42 at the centre of bars 20, 21, 22 on a frame 15 secured to the machine; the thimble carries a bushing 53 engaging the top of the post 40 and the pin 51 and bushing 53 provide spaced apart bearings which support the cake-holder for rotation about the fixed axis and maintained the axis of rotation. fixed. A flange 52; secured to the thimble carries arcuate arms 60, 61 pivoted on studs 64 and having lugs 62 of the same contour as the rim 46 of a brake drum 44 fixed to the hub 42; studs 65, at the ends of the arms 60, 61 opposite to the studs 64, engage arcuate slots 66 in the flange 52 to guide the movements of the arms. The running thread t passes between the cake C and, a flanged disc 55 secured to the thimble 50 and causes the rotation of the cake, the arms 60, 61 swinging on the studs 64 so that the lugs 62 engage the rim 46 of the brake drum and retard the rotation of the cake; the braking force applied is directly proportional to the speed of rotation of the cake and if the thread should break the arms 60, 61 promptly arrest the rotation 'of the cake to prevent the thread from winding around the thimble or accumulating between the cake and the disc 55. The thread is led to the waxing-device by a threadguide comprising a curved and notched horn 34 mounted on spaced arms 32, 33 on the frame 15 and a curved wire 36 attached at one end to the arm 32 and extending upwards and over the horn 34 to the rear end of the frame where it is attached to a bearing 37. At the start of the winding operation a length of thread is drawn from the supply bobbin B, passed between the guides 34, 36 and has the end secured to the core on the winding spindle and as the thread is drawn through the guides 34, 36 it passes into the notch 35, between tension discs 25, 26, between the cake C and the disc 55 and into the slot of the slub catcher 30. Specification 397,123 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to means for interlocking the bolster and side frames ofa railway car truck
IPC: B61F5/12
Filed: 1954-03-15
Abstract: 752,920. Underframing of bodies of railway vehicles. NATIONAL MALLEABLE & STEEL CASTINGS CO. March 15, 1954 [March 16, 1953], No. 7446/54. Class 103 (6). A railway car truck having under-frames with openings to receive the ends of a bolster resiliently supported, has friction means consisting of wedge members carried by the frames and provided with bolster-engaging surfaces and frame-engaging surfaces, the wedge members having each a projection adapted to prevent accidental separation of the bolster from a side frame. As shown, a side frame 10 comprises a compression member 12 connected to a tension member 14 by vertical columns 16 to form an opening 18 for an end of a bolster 20. The opening has a wide portion 18a at the top. The bolster is supported on the frame by springs 22. The bolster is provided at each end with an outer guide lug 19 which overlaps portions of the columns 16 which are below the widened opening 18a, the lugs being of such vertical height as to pass through the opening 18a. Inner guide lugs 21 are also provided which preferably extend the full depth of the bolster. Friction wedges 24 are carried in pockets 28 in columns 16, each wedge comprising a flat friction face 36 engaging a vertical wear-plate 38 at the side of the bolster and a crowned wedge face 40 engaging a sloping wall 32 on the column 16. The wedge is pressed downwardly by a spring 26. The upper end of the wedge has a projection 50 which normally extends into the widened portion 18a of the opening 18, and thereby prevents the lug 19 on the bolster from passing through this widened portion when the bolster is raised to the height of this portion. To enable the bolster to be withdrawn, the wedge is retracted by means of a pinch bar inserted through openings 60, 62 provided respectively on the column 16 and the wedge 24, the openings normally being partly in register. The wedge is held in retracted position by a pin passed through an opening 66 therein and openings 68 in both walls of the column 16. The retracted wedge is tilted so that the projection 50 is clear of the opening 18a. Specifications 655,180 and 676,858 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,146,809. Fuel elements. ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA Ltd. 15 Feb., 1968 [14 April, 1967], No. 7503/68. Heading G6C. A fuel cluster comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending fuel elements, each comprising a sheath with warts affixed to it in regions where the element is to be positively spaced from adjacent elements by engagement of the warts with co-operating warts on the adjacent elements, the warts each being of elongated shape defining a longitudinal axis which is set on a helix with respect to the longitudinal axis of its element, the helix of each wart being in the same sense as that of its cooperating wart. As shown in Fig. 5, separation of the elements 41, 42 occurs by virtue of the warts 43, 44, the elements being positioned so that the warts cross one another. This arrangement allows for misalignment of the warts in directions both longitudinal and transverse of the element to which they are attached. The facing surfaces of the warts may be made convex so that the coolant is better able to prevent the formation of local hot spots.
